Workflow

The Challenge

When rayon was established in 2025, it quickly became clear that everything had to be set up in a smart, structured and economical way from the outset. This also meant no confusing tool landscapes or inefficient processes. Instead, the team looked for a solution that would save time, create clarity and support creative work.

No more gut feelings
Capacity planning had to be data-driven and forward-looking from the outset.
Everything in one place
A single tool was needed to combine time tracking, project planning, communication and documentation.

The Solution

After comparing various tools, it was clear that awork had everything rayon needed. From time tracking and capacity planning to automated workflows – everything in one intuitive system that could be optimally integrated into the existing IT infrastructure.

Janis Baumgartner
COO, rayon
I used to spend a lot of time on administrative tasks, but now I can use that time more effectively on customers.
Louisa Früngel
Senior Art Director, rayon
My game changer is the project overview. I have every briefing, document, communication... it minimises all tools to one page in awork.
